St. Luke's Hospital, Malta, Former general hospital in Pietà, Malta
Built on Gwardamanġia hill, St. Luke's Hospital features modernist architectural elements designed by Charles Holden with prominent stone facades and spacious corridors.
The hospital's foundation stone was placed in 1930 by Governor John Philip Du Cane, though construction faced delays due to technical issues and World War II.
The facility stands as a Grade 1 monument in Malta's National Inventory of Cultural Property, representing advances in 20th-century medical infrastructure.
The building maintained 850 beds during its operational period until 2007, when medical services transferred to the new Mater Dei Hospital.
During 1941, the main block transformed into an isolation hospital, managing various epidemics from measles to typhoid and poliomyelitis.
